Cost & Payment
Trial Period
All potential students are encouraged to attend classes for a couple weeks to see if they enjoy it. Martial arts is NOT for everybody; we work hard on both technique and physical fitness.
There is no charge for the two-week trial period.
Monthly Dues
Montly cost: $100
There is a household discount; additional students from the same household are $50 per month. So two students from the same household is $150 per month; and three students is $200 a month.
Payment
I take Venmo, cash, or even an IOU. Payments are due around the end of the month.
Equipment Included
Enrollment includes a pair of nunchaks, a training knife (plastic resin, not sharp), and Kali Sticks (wooden sticks made from Rattan).
Once a student completes their trial period and decides to continue with classes, the additional equipment is ordered - one each month. First month, nunchaks, second month, training knife, and third month Kali Sticks. The equipment is paid for with class dues and does not cost extra.
Note
The rattan sticks are ordered from the Philippines and often take substantial time to arrive. Once they are received we set aside time to “decorate” them - this entails sanding, burning, and sometimes a laser.
Additional Equipment
Uniforms must be paid for separately. The current cost of uniforms is $100 per student; they are not required to be purchased immediately but need to be acquired before competition in tournaments.
A student will need to acquire:
A pair of knuckle gloves (punching bag gloves with open fingers)
Mouth guard
Sparring helmet
Sparring footgear
Sparring body armor
We have some house-equipment that can be borrowed during sparring practices, however it is generally preferable to acquire your own.
